Then let them offer their loyalty!

If this conjecture comes true, it will lead to a terrifying hypothesis: 100,000 "puppet ants" could push the queen ant to the peak of the third tier...

So, how terrifying is the power of the ant queen who controls tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of "puppet ants"?

And what level of power do the priests, or rather the archbishops, around her possess?

It is precisely because of this concern that all parties are quite cautious, whether they are conducting investigations in the two major regions or fighting amongst themselves.

Therefore, this time, the "Puppet Ants" left the two major regions and entered the "Northwest Region," where they clashed with Qiu Tu's forces, immediately attracting the attention of many forces.

They all wanted to use this confrontation to gauge Qiu Tu's strength and learn about the puppet ants...

...

Southwest region. Shelter No. 4.

"Apocalypse" sat upright in the position of the Grand Commander, listening to Jin Ni carefully report the intelligence of the "False Man" army over the past few days.

After hearing that Qiu Tu had achieved a scorched-earth policy and dragged down the morale of the "pseudo-human army," he chuckled and commented, "He can be considered a hero, with a bit of my youthful charisma."

Jin Ni: ....

Apocalypse changed the subject, "However, 80,000 Tier 1 Cataclysmic 'Pseudo-Humens' will keep Qiu Tu busy for a while."

"Unless he disregards the cost and takes matters into his own hands, his men simply cannot withstand him."

.....

Meanwhile, in the southeastern region.

Inside a Western-style palace that shimmered with gold.

A portly, bald, somewhat greasy-looking blond middle-aged Western man was supporting a "puppet ant queen" on the other side.

While jiggling his large belly and bracing himself, he said smugly, "There's a saying among humans: 'To catch a thief, first catch the king.' It's so true."

"The taste of the queen ant is just different."

As he spoke, the queen ant beneath him let out a few pitiful cries.

Perhaps the cry angered the middle-aged man, for his eyes suddenly turned crimson, and he raised his hand to smash the queen ant's head!

With two loud "bangs," the head of the formidable "Puppet Ant Queen" was instantly smashed.

The man snorted coldly, "Disappointing."

After saying that, he withdrew, put on a coat, and got up to walk outside.

As soon as they stepped outside, a blonde, blue-eyed, eighth-tier female evil god stood respectfully there.

Upon seeing the man, the female demon goddess immediately bowed and said, "Lord Kabane, the pseudo-human army in the 'Northwest Region' has made contact with the human side, and the two sides are currently engaged in battle."

"Humanity's leader, Qiu Tu, has yet to appear on the battlefield, so the entire human camp is suffering repeated defeats."

Clearly, the man before them was the Kabane, ranked second in strength during the "Trial of the Gods".

Upon hearing the female evil god's words, the middle-aged man sneered twice, "The 'Puppet Ants' aren't so easy to deal with."

"I bet the human side is having a headache right now."

.....

Meanwhile, in various regions including the southeast and southwest.

Almost all factions turned their attention to the "Northwest Region," wanting to see how this great war would end.

Meanwhile, the people of "Siyuan Pavilion" had already secretly infiltrated "Tianzhou" and were keeping an eye on the situation of the puppet army while planning to rescue "Emperor Man".

The leader was none other than Shu Xia, the son of Shu Zu, the president of "Siyuan Pavilion," and the younger brother-in-law of Manhuang.

Looking at the vast battlefield of over 100,000 people in the distance, Shu Xia couldn't hide her smugness.

Although it cost him a lot of resources to have the "girl queen ant" produce 80,000 "soldiers," he couldn't hide his pleasure at the thought of causing trouble for Qiu Tutian.

Moreover, it's possible that he's extending his hatred to everything connected to the people he hates. Because of Qiu Tu, he now hates all of humanity as well.

He now desperately wants the "pseudo-human" army to scatter and slaughter other humans after they have razed the city.

At that time, he might actually be able to wipe out hundreds of millions of humans with just the egg of a "puppet queen ant".

Enjoy this grand party I've prepared for you.

Thinking this, Shu Xia turned around and ordered, "Let's go! Let's rescue the Vice Pavilion Master of Manhuang!"

Given Shuxia's prestige, normally, if he gave the order, followers should immediately flock to him.

But today, for some reason, he clearly gave the order, yet his trusted confidants and the reinforcements from Siyuan Pavilion all stood there dumbfounded.

A question mark slowly appeared above Shuxia's head, and she was just about to scold him.

Just then, his trusted confidant pointed to the battlefield of hundreds of thousands behind him and said in surprise, "That...is that Qiu Tu? What is he doing?"

"Qiu Tu? What are you doing?" Hearing her confidante's question, Shu Xia frowned slightly. "What did Qiu Tu do?"

He was filled with questions, then turned to look.

As a result... he was stunned when he saw it.

Because... right there on that battlefield of hundreds of thousands, Qiu Tu walked alone into the air, and then shouted loudly to all the "false people" on the battlefield, "Now that you have seen the true god, why don't you worship!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's arrogant words, both Shu Xia and her confidants were stunned.

After a moment, Shu Xia was the first to come to his senses. He chuckled and said, "Qiu Tu seems to have gone mad."

"The 'false humans' are all controlled by the 'puppet queen ant,' and they are willing to sacrifice everything for the development of their race."

"Let alone true gods, even if the God King were present, they would still fight."

Upon hearing Shuxia's words, several of his confidants couldn't help but laugh along.

And then, at that very moment...

"Thump." "Thump." "Thump." As the first "pseudo-human" knelt down, one "pseudo-human" after another knelt on the battlefield.

This kneeling and worship seemed to be "contagious." Soon, on the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, all 80,000-plus "false people" knelt on the ground and devoutly worshipped Qiu Tu.

The whole scene was like a miracle, as if a true god had descended...

For a moment, both Shuxia and the reinforcements from Siyuan Pavilion were dumbfounded, their heads filled with question marks...

-----

Please vote for me!

Chapter 655 Qiu Tu really dealt with the puppet ants just like that? (Seeking monthly votes!)

At this moment, not only Shu Natsumi, but even the human army fighting the "pseudo-humans" was stunned...

After all, what kind of battle would end with the enemy suddenly all kneeling down?

So, should we fight or not?

Some soldiers, caught off guard, even instinctively fired a few shots at the "dummy" kneeling on the ground.

Fortunately, the "fake humans" only had their heads as a weak point; they felt nothing when hit elsewhere. So, the "fake humans" that were hit only trembled a couple of times before becoming completely unresponsive.

At this moment, Qiu Tu stood in mid-air, looking at the kneeling "pseudo-humans," and then said with an air of authority, "Very good."

"Although you have made a grave mistake, fortunately you have realized your error and returned to the right path."

“I am willing to forgive your sins, but only if you atone for them.”

As they spoke, a rumbling sound came from behind the battlefield.

Everyone present, whether they were soldiers from the human side, spies from various factions, or even Shuxia hiding to the side, couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

As a result, they saw a long line of troop carriers coming from a distance.

Upon reaching the battlefield, the troop transport vehicles slowly came to a stop.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu glanced around at the "fake people" still kneeling on the ground, then spoke with an icy gaze.

"Now, listen to my command, everyone get on the bus, I have a mission for you."

Before the "fake people" could react to Qiu Tu's words, Shu Xia, the spies from all sides, and the soldiers turned their attention to the "fake people."

They were also curious whether the "pseudo-people" would actually listen to Qiu Tu.

After all... an eighth-tier deity has far too many ways to deal with these seventy to eighty thousand first-tier cataclysmic beings if they disregard the cost.

There are many other methods that can make these 70,000 to 80,000 Tier 1 Cataclysmic beings kneel down.

However... kneeling and obeying orders are two completely different concepts.

The former uses power to intimidate others, and can also use certain means to force people to the ground in a disguised way, while the latter requires subjective will.

Therefore, the entire battlefield was completely silent, with everyone waiting for the "false men" to make their move.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The "fake people" did not react.

Shu Xia and the scouts breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers, however, slowly grew serious again, their grips on their guns tightening involuntarily.

As a result, at that moment, a "dummy" who was close to the troop carrier stood up first.

The "puppet ant" is clearly an intelligent creature; even the ordinary soldier ants are no different from normal adults.

Even when they came to attack the "Northwest Shelter," they were fully armed. Not only were they wearing bulletproof vests, but some of them were even carrying firearms and artillery.

However, just like driving, they hadn't learned how to drive in a short time, so they weren't very skilled at it.

However, I can't drive, but I have no problem being a passenger.

So, as the first "fake person" got on the bus, more and more "fake people" stood up and climbed onto the bus.

Before long, the troop transport vehicles were filled with people and began to slowly move towards the disaster zone.

This farce, which lasted five or six days, ended in a way that no one expected—a promising start followed by a disappointing finish.

Seeing this, both Shu Xia and the spies from all sides were puzzled.

They all had only one thought in their minds: Why?

Why was it that Qiu Tu could take down those "puppet ants" so easily after he went to the battlefield and said just a few words?

Is this some kind of catastrophic ability of his?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but recall Qiu Tu's path to catastrophe: Order-Politics.

A sudden thought flashed through their minds, and they began to make some guesses.

Could it be... Qiu Tu's cataclysmic ability?

After all... these 70,000 to 80,000 "puppet ants" are all from the same species and belong to the same organization.

Where there is organization, there is politics, which may very well be a perfect fit for Qiu Tu's path to catastrophe!

The more Shuxia and the various factions thought about it, the more they realized that this was indeed the case.

Shu Xia was so angry that her face turned ashen, and she cursed angrily, "He's lucky!"

However, after he finished speaking, his expression brightened, "However... using cataclysmic abilities on such a large scale against so many cataclysmic beings."

"It must have taken a lot of toll on him, right?"

Even when she used the "puppet ant" method, Shu Xia knew that Qiu Tu would definitely be able to solve this problem.

After all, for an eighth-order deity, tens of thousands of first-order Cataclysms, though troublesome, are not a serious concern.

But what he really wanted was to cause trouble for Qiu Tu!

His primary objective was to distract Qiu Tu and prevent him from attacking the Emperor. Secondly, it was to wear Qiu Tu down.

Don't forget that this is the "Trial of the Gods" just because Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji killed those eighth-tier gods.

In the "Trial of the Gods", power above the seventh rank will decrease with every use unless replenished with "Boundless Divine Crystals" regardless of the outcome.

Previously, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji had just advanced to the eighth rank and absorbed a massive amount of cataclysmic power from the "Origin of the World," which they would not lack for a short time.

However, now that they have stabilized, the power of the cataclysm is being used less and less.

A decrease in the power of cataclysm within the body signifies a decline in strength.

This is the main reason why Shu Xia used the "Puppet Insect" to cause trouble for Qiu Tu.

The reason why so many eighth-tier experts, and even nearly ten peak eighth-tier experts, are unable to effectively counter the "Puppet Ant" catastrophe is precisely because they are conserving their "catastrophe power" to cope with the "Trial of the Gods".
